A Day OF Remembrance

Think about *IT*, deeply, for a moment and just ~pretend~ that someone IS throwing a party, in ~your name~ so *IT* must be exclusively for “you,” right? IT IS proclaimed all over to be a “Day” to remember the special day, that God THE Father saw fit that you should be born on this earth… SOOOOoooo…, IS IT unreasonable for you to expect that, Since *IT* IS in your Name, well then *IT* should be only in “your” honor … shouldn‘t IT?
Even MORE proof that this day should be ~Exclusively~ dedicated to the memorial of “your” birth, IS The fact that the invitations are calling for all peoples to assemble themselves in, your “Fathers House” for this event….
The day arrives, and You enter into The House Set aside by mankind, on ~the day~ set aside by mankind, for Worship of Your Father and what do You HEAR & SEE? The music, of all things of the world, some of it is aimed at giving the message of your birth, ALL Sorts of decorations, lighted trees, candles, flowers of the season, gifts under the tree and a person in a red suit trimmed with white fur, passing out gifts to everyone in the building… so you look for the sincerity of thought, for ~all heads~ to be bowed in the “Thanksgiving” that you expect to be given unto your Father for this day, as you wait for ~~Your Name~~ to be called to receive, The “Gift”, that all these people should have come to present to You, Since IT Was Supposed TO BE A Party IN Memory OF The Day OF “Your Birth” …. Sadly, this gift never appears but the party goes on with eating, drinking, and being merry, while you watch over the frenzied affair. Imagine, thoughtfully now, How would you feel *IF* This really were Your Party carried out in honor of everyone and everything ~Except~ “you?”
NOW, Jesus Christ The Blessed Son of God With His Seeing Eyes of Truth sees all as well as Does The Father, The heart, the mind, and the thoughts of it…. HE Knows the “TRUE” reasons of the seasons, and He Knows the manmade, excuses, customs, traditions carried out, and the words that are spouted out of the mouths of many proclaiming that He IS The Reason for The Season, BUT, actions speak louder than words and the witness to the world that is portrayed IS, commercialism, pagan customs, fairy tale lies, mystic, sorceries, drunken bashes, the frenzy of a society that has in fact embraced the, antichrist and followed the broad and spacious path in the tongue of, A “Religious Belief” in a mock honor of Christ … AS God The Father Who foresaw and *Knows ALL*, gave instruction through HIS Blessed Son Jesus as He walked this earth among men, said:
(Matthew 15:8) .. “This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; BUT their heart IS far from Me..”
(Mark 7:6).. Jesus answered and said unto them, “Well, hath Esaias (Isaiah) prophesied of ~you hypocrites~, *AS IT IS Written*, this people honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” AS Isaiah Wrote, Inspired BY THE LORD, God JEHOVAH
(Isaiah 29:13)… Wherefore THE LORD Said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near ME with their mouth, and with their lips do honour ME, BUT, have removed their heart far from ME, and their fear toward ME IS ~Taught~ by the precept of men… (The word Precept means; instructions that rule moral behavior, and the ways of the world and man kinds precepts have well been proven to lead down the path of destruction as Biblical History shows. In the past as well as today people begin to think that God ~WILL DO~ nothing to them for their disobedient ways because they are not struck down immediately, BUT God‘s Word WILL Stand and HIS Promise WILL BE Fulfilled, AND Those who prove disobedient WILL Reap their reward just as Adam and Eve with all that followed through the past recordings have.)
(II Chronicles 36:16).. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused HIS prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against HIS people, till there was ~no remedy~.
(Galatians 6:7).. Be ~NOT Deceived~; God IS NOT Mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…
(II Corinthians 6: 15-16)…What concord hath Christ with Belial? OR What part hath he that believeth with an infidel? AND What ~agreement~ hath the temple of God with the temple of God with idols?
There are many that will defend the celebrations of the world as okay with God because it is claimed verbally to be about HIS Son Jesus Christ, even though IT IS Filled with customs that distract ones attention away from the Gospel… BUT, anything that takes away from The Truth, draws ones eyes away from THE Kingdom of God IS OF Belial… NO Matter how colorful and joyful the occasion may seem, this brings another question to mind, “Does God approve of mixing The Memory of HIS Son’s Birth with pagan customs, any more than the HE Does of our being unevenly yoked with infidels? There again *IS SEEN* the honor with the mouth, but the heart is far removed….
Many folks will balk at this message and declare that IT WAS Meant for The Israelites, God’s children of old… Yes IT Was, Read the OLD Testament and see how many times God’s children of old were punished for *Disobedience*, and so IT IS meant for God’s children today… those who call themselves after HIS Son, Christians, as Jesus confirmed….
The whole of Isaiah 29 gives warning to those who, “turn things upside down” (16) and the ~scorner~ that makes a man an offender for a word, and turn aside the “just” for a thing of naught..(20-21)… this implies the separating the goats from the sheep… as the learned man will not read with understanding, because the “Book” is sealed to him and the unlearned man will not read IT because he is unlearned, and the fear of THE LORD will be taught by the precept of men… (11)… LOOK Around the world, this country, what precepts are most visible, that OF a Godly nation or a nation devoid of morals, self-centered, anything goes, lack of True Biblical Teaching in the Principals of God‘s Commands? Can we Truthfully say that the Churches are failing miserably in this mess, Because, they fail TO Stand Wholly ON THE TRUTH? Man can really mess up a scripture of verse by adding things of the world to IT and that IS just what has transpired down through the years, since The Ascension…. People have sought a new way, a new word.. How many “NEW” Bible Translations are in use today that have changed the Original Transcripts? Making IT Alright for mankind to do things that God has said Do Not Do, Leave IT Alone?
Men have written many books, lacing customs of the world into the pages with a little sprinkling of the Gospel to make IT more interesting to men, in the guise of carrying the Gospel to the world and bringing the lost to Christ… BUT This IS Just As Jesus Said, It IS lip service only and IT IS Devoid of A Visible Faithful Walk which confirms the honest, humble, and obedient attitudes that must be seen before mankind as a witness of God’s Infallibility, thus it brings the lost into an even more pitiful state of false hope, sending morals and precepts to the ways of the world….
While so many folks that call themselves after The Blessed Name OF Christ, are running about calling for society to ~PUT~ Christ, back into Christmas… there ARE several questions that we must stop and ask, seeking the answers *ONLY* through humble prayer and a sincere search into God’s Written Word OF Guidance, instead of seeking the opinions of others through the reflections of man kinds customs…
The First and Most Important ONE IS: Can mere man the clay, put Christ, The Potter, ~Anywhere~, when He specifically SAID: “Follow ME!”
Another IS: Was Christ the Messiah, The Blessed Son of God, ever *IN* the pagan rituals that were conjured up by people anxious to combine the True Accounts of Christ with pagan beliefs in order to bring many ~Numbers~ into their religion?… Appeasing, making concessions, compromising THE True Worship, with the customs of the world, for gain…. AND These customs are what “Christmas” IS All About today, and this IS What the ~Religions~ are fighting for, BECAUSE, *IF* True followers of Christ want to remember the day of His Birth on this earth, it is simply a matter of reflecting *IT*, as *IT* IS Written IN The Bible, from the podium of God’s Houses of Worship ALL Over the earth…. There IS NO ~Necessary Commercialism~! NO trees that need to be called after His Blessed Name! NOT even a season that need be called after Jesus, before a lost and dying world, BECAUSE, Jesus IS OVER ALL Seasons.. BUT as IT IS Written, ONLY The Gospel of His Father’s Kingdom, and the Accounts of His Actions, need be preached to those who are in need of hearing *TRUTH*. AS Jesus ~Commissioned~ in:
(Matthew 28: 19-20).. “Go ye therefore and ~teach~ *ALL* nations… Teaching them *TO Observe* ~ALL~ things what so ever I Have commanded you…
Now think about this! Did Jesus ever say go forth, cut down the trees and decorate them, place gifts under them and give them out to everyone to spread joy and cheer of the season, in which you inject a jolly fellow named Santa, in My Place and then, eat, drink, and be merry IN MY NAME?
Where IS IT Written that Jesus ever stumbled out of a drunken party to puke up the overstuffed drinks that He consumed… OR Snuck off into the corner to make out with the husband/wife of another… Gathered around a decorated tree and sang joyful songs of worldly celebrations?
Did Jesus encourage that trees be cut and decorated to memorialize His birth?
Reference to the trees was used in the bringing forth of fruit and IF IT Did not produce good fruit it was to be cut down, and burned, not lifted up and decorated as a memorial…. (Jeremiah 10:) .. “Learn ~NOT~ the way of the heathen…. Wasn’t IT Commanded By The Father, in The Old Testament that men were not to cut trees down to look upon them as gods…. Gaze upon them as wonderful? Read also (Isaiah 17-18)
And what about the gifts? The money market of gotta do it because everyone else is doing it, follow the world’s way of celebrating….
The “Gift” that we should be bringing to Him in ~ALL~ Seasons IS our loyal obedience, TO The Words That He taught while on this earth… As He walked among men…. And the Season when His Birth IS Remembered should be every season and Thoughtfully Remembered As A Special Time to Give Prayerful Thanks TO our Father in Heaven for The Blessings That HE Sent to all of us through this Blessed Birth, and offering these Prayers up in THE Blessed Name, Jesus….
A “TIME OF Teaching” Over Again The Gospel of His Birth, His Life, AND His Father’s Kingdom… After ALL we can never learn TOO much of The gospel, but we sure can fall short of our learning and remembering through a lack of continuing faithfully in the Written Word, thus opening the door for the adversary to slip through and lead us away into the world of false practices of fake religions…..
The “Christmas IN July” sales promotions are pretty much proof to anyone who looks that the season IS ~ALL About~ money, commercialism, paganism… and not as the excuse goes to celebrate Christ Birth…
God gave us days, time, and places to have joyful occasions and give each other gifts, join together in eating food, and fellowship, WHY must we choose a time to mix false teachings of worldly fables into the Biblically Accounted Message OF Jesus Birth…?

The "Fourth OF July"

(Matthew 4:23).. “Jesus”, went about Galilee, *Teaching* ~IN their Synagogues~, and
*Preaching*… (WHAT? Patriotism? Lifting up the ~flags~ of Galilee or even Jerusalem, the place where God allowed King Solomon to build The Temple OF God?? Honoring ~~ALL~~ the fallen soldiers which had fought the battles, even the wars which were fought by King David, the man after God’s OWN Heart? NOPE! NOT ANY OF THE ABOVE!),,, (BUT!!) *THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, (THE KINGDOM OF GOD, Not the gospel OF any earthly kingdom!) and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people…
Then Matthew reiterated this statement again IN:
(Matthew 9:35)… Jesus went about ~~ALL~~ the cities and villages, ~Teaching and Preaching~ *THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM*, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people….
AND Then Paul picked up and carried on the same message…even referring TO: “The Things which ~Concern~ the Lord Jesus”, AS IT IS Written IN:
(Acts 28:31)… ~Preaching~ *THE KINGDOM OF GOD*, and ~Teaching~ those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with ~ALL~ confidence, no man forbidding him….
I find IT SO Sad that in many Meeting Houses this past Sunday where the people that claim to be followers of Christ, Believers of His Word, Preachers and Teachers as He (Jesus Christ The Son of God) commissioned us to be, gathered folks in to the places where people gather to, worship, praise the LORD and learn of HIS Will for us to follow, to justify and honor a nation, a flag, an army of men, ~WAR~ a day set aside by the government to appease the worldly people in a play of the fleshly emotions, in the ~Name~ of “Freedom”, rather than a ~Spiritual~ uplifting IN/OF THE LORD where our *FREEDOM* Really Lies.
BECAUSE, no where can I find *IT* Written, that Jesus Walked this earth, honoring anything or anyone, Except His Father which ~IS~ In Heaven… AND
Since Jesus Christ *IS* the Son OF God, and THE Standard of God’s Kingdom, What else should be honored IN: God’s Houses OF Worship? AGAIN: *AS IT IS Written*…
(Isaiah 49:22) .. THUS Saith THE LORD GOD, “Behold, I Will Lift up MINE Hand to the Gentiles, and Set up MY Standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders…”
(Isaiah 59:19).. So shall ~they~ *fear* The NAME OF THE LORD from the west, and HIS Glory from the rising of the sun.. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, … THE Spirit OF THE LORD~~ SHALL~~ Lift up A Standard against him…
This from the very ~prophet~ which Jesus read and taught from during His life here on the earth among men… (Luke 4:16-17)… So *IF* Isaiah (Esaias) ~Wrote~ *IT*, AND Jesus Spoke *IT* The Surely God The Father IS IN AGREEMENT With *IT*, Don’t you ~think~?
So many folks are placing on their lawns signs with (II Chronicles 7:14) listed on it and instructions TO ~Pray~ for this nation…
What should be emphasized, “AS IT IS Written Even Here”, IS, *OBEDIENCE* “IF MY people, which ARE Called BY MY NAME, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek MY FACE, and turn from their wicked ways, then Will *I* Hear from heaven, and WILL Forgive their sin and heal their nation.. AND THAT *OBEDIENCE* MUST BE TO GOD!
NOW, think about some of the words in this verse of scripture… which people are using to ~promote~ prayer for God to Save this nation…. “ people, Called BY MY NAME”, Christians folks who are supposed to be followers of Christ… Yet Christ said, “NO, man can serve ~~TWO~~ masters… (Matthew wrote *IT* IN: 6:22) & (Luke accounted *IT* IN: 16:13)
Folks try to claim that mammon is only applying to money… and yes money can be your master if you are obsessed with it, BUT SO CAN The Patriotism of a Nation, lifted up IN THE *Pride OF Destruction*!
How many times can you find *IT* Written by The prophets and apostles, warnings OF: *PRIDE*…? *IT*, Goeth before destruction: (Proverbs 18:18) & (Proverbs 29:23).. A man’s ~PRIDE~ shall bring him low, BUT honour shall uphold ~~the humble in spirit~~…
AND Here again IS THE WORD ~~Humble~~ humble in spirit meaning ~Respectful~, obedient, and IT IS Written in many scriptures that God’s people are to be *Humble in Spirit*… NOT Prideful…. BUT THE BIGGEST WORD Carrying The Greatest Impact Contained here IS: *IF*, *IF* MY people, The People of God who are followers of HIS Dear Son, who carry The Name of Jesus, Christ… and then *SHALL* comes right up there TOO! Followed BY: *SEEK*, *MY FACE*, as IN seek My (God’s) approval, MY (God’s) Attention in a Good Way, Pay fearful respect ONLY TO: THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, INSTEAD OF the nation in which they live or the soldiers, or the flag (standard) made of cloth, or the sparklers, and poppers, the drinking, eating, and partying in the ways of the world….. THEN WILL I (THE LORD) heal their nation.. NOT Obama, NOT Romney, NOT even, George Washington, BUT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!…
Also read the warnings that God gave TO ~Moses~: about following the ways of other nations and rejecting THE Statutes of God, thus committing ~Spiritual Adultery~….. IN: (Leviticus 26: 1- 46)….. “I Will break your ~~Pride~~”…
AND What DID John, who walked with Christ write?
(I John 2:16)… FOR ~~ALL~~ that *IS IN * the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, *THE PRIDE OF LIFE*, IS NOT of the Father, BUT *IS* Of The world….
*IT* WAS Written, *IT* HAS BEEN Prophesied, *IT* IS God’s Word, AND *IT* Will BE DONE on earth as *IT* IS IN Heaven… Who on earth will listen and obey the warning of the sounding ~Trumpet~, the sound of the Shofar Horn, calling for God’s people TO “Awake from their slumbers,” and REALIZE, THAT *God’s Word IS Truth*…
(Micah 4:1)… But IN The ~Last Days~ *IT* Shall come to pass, that the mountain of the House of THE LORD, shall be established in the top of the mountains, and *IT* Shall be exalted above the hills; AND ~people~ shall flow into *IT*… Are you gonna be one of these people, flowing into IT OR are you gonna be so busy waving the flag of the world in one hand and sparkler of man’s traditional celebration in the other that you will miss *IT*….?
There are many, many Scriptures of warning and instruction of God’s Will for us today, written, *IF* one will BE Concerned enough to take the time to read them…

What Country IS The Land OF The Free?

Have you ever considered the ~MANY LESSONS~ that God had Written for HIS people to read and learn how to live a closer walk with HIS Son, Jesus..
Read the account of:
(Exodus 14:31) “The Red Sea Crossing”, And Israel (God’s people) ~SAW~ that *Great Work* that THE LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared THE LORD, and HIS servant Moses… (BUT a few months later all this was forgotten and)..
(Exodus 16:2-3).. The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: AND said unto them, “Would TO God, we had died by the Hand of THE LORD, in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and we did eat to the full; FOR ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill the whole assembly with hunger.”
And then the account in: (Exodus 32: 1-8)…
Having lived in Egypt, they had, had ample to eat, BUT they had been drawn to the rituals of the Egyptians, in their worship of their false gods also.. To the point of returning to this action when Moses did not come back ~AS~ they ~Expected~ that he should…. This Greatly angered THE LORD God Almighty…
WELL, So IT IS Today, with the people that call themselves followers of Christ Jesus The Son of God…. Those who are all wrapped up in, *This Nation*, and the only land of the free… The freedom that one has by being born in this great nation, or that adopts to come into this nation to live…
There are so many post on the computer sites, that people embrace and pass around that teach and promote, praying, “To the Soldiers” for your freedom, praying to the flag for your freedom, *IF we don’t get the right president we will starve to death, or die because we can’t get proper medical attention, like a doctor can save us alive…. Yes, some medications can help us, BUT! Where does our *FREEDOM*, our *Health*, our *Food*, really come from, and *WHAT* ~Kingdom~ are we to seek, to look to *FIRST* AND ALL THESE Things WILL BE added unto us? AS Jesus Christ SAID!:
(Matthew 6:31-34)… “Therefore take NO! thought, saying what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? OR wherewithal, what shall we be clothed? For after ~ALL~ these things do the Gentiles seek, (AND There are still Gentiles Today who have not converted and prayed the repentant prayer of a sinner for forgiveness to God THE Father in Jesus Name… WHY?) FOR your Heavenly Father ~Knoweth that ye have need of these things… BUT! Seek ye ~First~ The Kingdom OF God, AND HIS Righteousness; AND these things will be added unto you.. Take therefore, NO thought of tomorrow:….
INSTEAD OF Always Praying To THE LORD God, in Jesus Name to ~~Save~~ this ~~GREAT NATION~~, Jesus Said, we should pray: “THY Kingdom Come, THY Will BE Done, in earth as IT IS IN Heaven.” (Matthew 6: 10)
Where did the folks that call themselves ~Followers of Christ~ git so confused as to think that This IS nation IS God’s Kingdom? When they begin to get involved in the rituals that this nation condones. When they begin to follow the ways of the world, INSTEAD of God’s Instructions… JUST AS DID The Israelites of the Time of Moses…. IT’S About time that folks, began TO ~LOOK UP~, pray to the Father in repentance and Remember where we came from and where we are going….. Stop lifting up the earthly kingdom, nation that we live in, or it’s people, it’s leaders warriors, horses, it’s weapons, for *Freedom* for *Safety*, FOR *Life*, Stop looking for a new way…
(Psalm 20:7).. ~SOME~ *Trust in chariots, and some trust in horses: BUT, we will ~~Remember~~ THE NAME OF THE LORD, our God…
(Isaiah 31:1)….Woe to them that go down to Egypt, (OR America, OR Any nation of the world) for help; AND Stay on horses, and Trust in chariots, ~~BECAUSE~~ they are many; ; AND IN Horsemen, they are very strong; BUT they ~LOOK NOT~~ unto THE Holy One OF Israel, neither seek THE LORD!
The ONLY WAY IS God’s WAY! AND Only IN God’s Way are we free, For HE IS THE ONLY Physician through HIS Son Jesus Christ that can bring us back from the ashes of the dead… OR save us alive from the oppressor, OR provide food, water, clothing, ALL Things are BY HIM AND FOR HIM… BUT THEN;
How can one serve THE LORD God, *IF* they don’t ~~Know~~ HIS Son Jesus? (The Holy One OF Israel) AND, How can one be a follower of: Jesus *IF*, they do not ~Know~ THE LORD, God His Father? When we lift up any thing other than God’s Name in prayer, praise, or honor, we show a lost and dying world that we ARE still walking as a Gentile in a state of unbelief… AND MAYBE, for those that attend services on Sunday they, like the Israelites show a fearful respect of God The Father and HIS Son, Jesus Christ, BUT when they walk out the door they forget all about that fear and embrace the world… AND THEN Some Church Services are SO filled with the ways of the world that the fear of God IS never reflected within their doors……
